![SPEED TRIPLE vs SPEED TWIN - Did I buy the right one? [QuickTest#16]](/img/n.gif)
In all my years of riding, 57 now, I have learned a very expensive lesson. I now never mod bikes now. I have spent time and good money doing stuff when I should have simply found a bike that offered what I was trying to do in the first place , when I swapped out I never got my mods money back and only got market value. These two fabulous bikes are made for two distinct groups of riders everything the Street twin might seem to lack, the Speed twin or T 120 has in spades. I hate riding in snow, but now in Daytona I never have to but there were days coming back from Guilford to London it got testy, but then there was no ABS/Traction control.
Wife has the 2019 Street Twin (the 65hp version) and prefers it to my 2020 Speed Twin. She's a very good rider, so it's not that mine is too tall or too powerful, but more that the Street Twin is just more comfortable (I can't argue with that), and the 65hp variant isn't really lacking in power unless you're used to a modern sports bike. She ripped the cat out of hers, and that also really woke it up in terms of sound and also (measured) power. I don't think the two rides are all that similar, despite Triumph almost billing the Speed Twin as an 'upgrade' to the Street Twin. I think the Speed Twin is more a Thruxton for those who don't want to spend a huge amount of time hunkered down over their tank (unless they really want to), and who want a bit more modern practicality (no wire wheels to keep clean, for example).
It would be interesting to see a 4 way comparison with the T100 and T120 included as well
Good video 👍
Wise man, keep the smaller bike and enjoy your kids! There'll be plenty of time for upgrading bikes in the future. All of a sudden those kids are no kids anymore...Trust me on that one! I don't think it is that long ago I was reading bedtime stories...and now I bought a CB650R for my son. And one for me! Yes, there is a life in all this! Only different, so enjoy what you have!
Slow day itnit....?
Speed twin is such a good looking bike, it's impressive they got it lighter despite the second disc and caliper + bigger displacement engine etc
Everything you need to know. Good vid
I also have a street twin. Noticed you had different triangular side covers. Can you please tell me what brand they are?
Man that speed twin is such a gorgeous bike!
Great review, you covered all the important differences people would be interested in. I just signed the paperwork on a Rocket 3 GT, can't wait until they get it assembled at the dealer. Love all things Triumph!!
Exactly what I was hoping you’d do! Very helpful. Thank you!
Another really great video. Love your work. Congrats on the little one and moving house!
Nice seeing you back at the garage mate - a welcome little switch up from the on bike stuff! Videos coming thick and fast, long may it continue!
Loved this! The way you look at the speedy at
Nice work! I haven’t seen a side by side comparison of the Twins and am sure this will help a lot of people who will be faced with the decision between the two. 👍🏻
Welcome back to the garage! Congratulations on the second addition to the family! I enjoy these more detailed reviews and comparisons a little bit more than the ones with the video clips from the manufacturer. That being said, the way you review continues to be really well paced and easy to listen to.
Brilliant vid. I’m in love with that speed twin!
I've got a 2018 Street Triple R so got an invite to test ride the Speed Twin from my Triumph dealer, my first impressions were nice looking bike but probably a bit of a plodder, boy was I wrong ,what a bike ,it's like the designer decided he wanted the ultimate naked "A" road blaster, it handles like a dream and even though 96 bhp doesn't sound a lot the 110ish ft/lbs of torque means you can doddle along in 5th gear but just wind on the throttle and you're flying, this bike will give many over confident litre sports bike riders bad days, for the perfect representation of "wolf in sheeps clothing" I can't think of a better example.
Really well presented dude. Good job.
